God is ever ready to change our stories, but we also have our own part
to play. One of the ways to provoke a divine change is through worship.
Worship is not about how you feel. Genuine worship is not about
singing songs and getting a good feeling in your heart, it is about seeing God
for who He really is – powerful, mighty, and great – and then giving Him the
best of your time, your talents, your thoughts, your words and your deeds
anytime and anywhere.
True worship is seeing the tremendous worth of God afresh and in
response, giving Him the best of everything you have. No one would evangelize
in heaven, no sharing of tract when we get there, there won’t be need for
prayers, however, one thing that we will continue to do when we get to heaven is
worship.
I do tell people that worship is a loaded and sophisticated warship.
In the book of 2Kings 3, there is a story about Jehoshaphat and two other kings
journeyed for about seven days and there was no water for the host, and for the
cattle that followed them.
When Elisha came to the scene, he told them bring me a minstrel. In
order words, get me someone who can praise and worship God.
In verse 15, “And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the
hand of the LORD came upon him.” Someone said that when worship goes up, the
presence of the Lord comes down. At the end of the day, God supplied the water
and food they needed and also fought their battle for them.
Also, Pharaoh and his people were destroyed because he refused the
children of Israel the opportunity to go worship God.
Friends, if only you would worship God in that state of lack, He would
take you to that palace of prosperity. Worship Him when things are fine and
when they are not.
Worship can give birth to your desired change! From glory to glory you
shall be changed as you become an addicted worshipper of God in Jesus Name.
Amen!
